Stating the obvious: President Biden doesn’t like his Vice President.
According to a report from The New York Post, former White House officials paint a rough picture of the Biden-Harris relationship —Joe isn’t happy with Kamala at all.
“A point of tension in their relationship is that I don’t think that the president sees her as somebody who takes anything off of his plate” due to a “fear of messing up,” one former White House official told Reuters.
From The New York Post:
Another former White House official told the wire service that Biden, already the oldest-ever president, intends to seek a second term in part because he’s concerned that Harris may not be able to beat former President Donald Trump, who is seeking the GOP nomination.
“If he did not think she was capable, he would not have picked her. But it is a question of consistently rising to the occasion,” that former official said.
“I think his running for re-election is less about her and more about him, but I do think that she and the Democratic bench [are] a factor.”
A third former White House official defended Harris, however, and pointed to her role in advocating for legal access to abortion after the Supreme Court last year ended federally guaranteed access as something Harris took off Biden’s plate.
Biden has made a point of praising Harris recently — after prior reports that he’s been frustrated with her apparent reluctance to embrace an assignment to reduce record-breaking illegal immigration.
According to the Real Clear Politics polling average, 51.7& of Americans view Vice President Harris unfavorably.
